The surge

It seems that games are often inspired by or compared to the Dark Souls series due to its popularity and success. An example of this is Code Vein, which is one of the most anticipated games of 2018, and is often described as an anime-based Dark Souls. Another example is The Surge, which is a spiritual successor to Lord of the Fallen and inspired by Souls. Now, The Surge – a Sci-Fi action role-playing game – is receiving a sequel. The Surge 2 is, once again, being made by publisher Focus Home Interactive and developer Deck13. It is currently set to release at some point in 2019. At this point, however, very little is known, besides the following description by the publisher: “The Surge 2 keeps what fans and critics loved about the original – hardcore combat utilizing a unique, dynamic limb targeting system and deep character progression – while also expanding greatly upon the formula. “The Surge 2 takes place in a brand new environment: a … [Read more...] about Sci-Fi Dark Souls Game The Surge Announces Sequel for 2019

The Surge, a Dark Souls-inspired science fiction brawler, is getting a sequel. Publisher Focus Home Interactive and developer Deck13 announced the renewal of their partnership, as well as a release window of 2019. The team behind Lords of the Fallen, a dark fantasy action role-playing game, surprised many when it announced The Surge, in which players do battle against robotic and human enemies with futuristic exoskeletons. But the game proved very popular among fans, and even received critical praise. Polygon’s review called it “the biggest surprise of 2017.” Deck13 seems eager to double-down on what made the first game so successful. “The Surge 2 keeps what fans and critics loved about the original,” it said, “while also expanding greatly upon the formula.

By Sherif Saed, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 12:30 GMT The Surge 2 has been confirmed to be in development at creator Deck13. The Surge 2 is the sequel to last year’s Souls-like action RPG. Like its predecessor, the sequel will be released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with the current target being sometime in 2019. The Surge 2 builds on the game’s core mechanics of challenging combat, and the limb-targeting system. The sequel will take us to a new environment, a devastated city, which is a nice change from the original’s mostly indoors settings. The game uses an updated engine, and developer Deck13 promises more ambitious level design, and expanded combat mechanics. Of course, you can also expect new implants, weapons, and even drones to help you in the fight against new enemies and bosses. Outside of a promise to reveal more later, we only have this key art above to go with at this stage. Hopefully, more will be announced later this year. The original Surge was a … [Read more...] about The Surge 2 announced, coming 2019
